"He has a lot of energy and he transmits that to the team. When he's on the pitch and you see how he goes under pressure, how he gets unmarked, the intensity he has in every move he makes,"
"It spreads it to our colleagues and we all go with the same energy. And of course it was noticeable when he wasn't there, he's a very important player."
"There's a long way to go and we're taking it step by step, but we want to be in the final and win it. Hopefully it can be. We have that dream, that goal of winning the Champions League."
Raphinha returned to fitness and produced sensational form in 2025, providing a significant boost for Hansi Flick's Barcelona. His energy, intensity, and hunger for the game show in pressing, getting unmarked, and high-intensity movement on every action. That intensity spreads to teammates and raises the squad's collective energy, and his absence previously made his importance clear. Barcelona sit top of the Spanish league and target further titles in 2026. The team remains competitive and intends to progress step by step with the ambition of reaching the Champions League final and ultimately winning it.
